There's no shortage of programming talent. Only a shortage of recruiting talent.

I constantly send developers to employers for interview.

Sometimes I get detailed feedback and why the developer was rejected for the job (they almost always are). Often the reasons that the developer was rejected aren't any indicator of whether or not this person is a great developer.

So yet another great developer gets passed by yet another employer that is "focused on finding the best developers".
